The Segment Definition tab

The Segment Definition tab lets you add segments to the chart of accounts and manage
existing segments.

A list of segment definitions appears on this tab. You can perform several actions from
here:

Create a segment definition.

View and modify existing segments.

Delete segments.

Populating segment definition tables

If you create a table that is used as a segment, or if you activate another application with
tables that are used as segments, populate the corresponding segment table if you want
to allocate expenses to records in the segment. You can also manually repopulate a segment table
to take a snapshot of the data from the original table. You can do this on the Segment
Definition tab of the workbench (starting with the Helsinki release).

If you do not populate dimension tables manually, the Populate IT Data Mart
dimension tables scheduled job automatically takes a snapshot of the primary field
and additional fields data from the dimension definition, and then populates dimension tables
every 24 hours.
